Friday 21 July

We proudly announce that we will have our own booth (Hall 8 booth 8c 110) at Essen Spiel (26-29 Oct) this year.

You are welcome to join us and play a game of Cave Pilot 55, or have a look at some of the demonstrations of the game. We are planning to demonstrate beginner games and advanced tactics tailored to the interested gamer. Additionally, we will sell some of the limited expansions that we still have from the Kickstarter project. We only printed 250 sets of each expansion to satisfy the demand of the backers that supported us earlier in 2016.

See you at Essen Spiel !!

Tuesday 18 July

Tuesday 23 May

Our first game was just signed and picked up by Rein Hofman.

Monday 22 May

Today was the big day of the arrival of the games from WinGo. Three and a half pallet full of games. This was one of the most exiting moments during the creation of the game itself.

Wednesday 19 April

We have finished the German translation of the rulebook. Dirk Johannes Dreeßen did the complete translation of the English rulebook (and expansion rules) into German, and together with Philipp Marwan reviewed the end result. We are very grateful for the tremendous help by Dirk and Philipp!! The 'Spielanleitung' and the 'Erweiterungs-Regeln' can be downloaded at the Media page.

Saturday 18 March

The games have been placed on pallets (100 X 120 X 165 cm) by WinGo and packed in outer cartons (44 X 34.5 X 25 cm) and wrapping, to protect the games for the sea shipment and transport to the Netherlands. The total cargo is 4 pallets: 125 boxes with 6 games/box and 11 boxes with 260 add-ons/box. The total Gross weight with pallet is 1041.70 kg. Sea shipment will take about 6 weeks.

Sunday 5 March

The production of all components by Wingo has been finished. Here is a photo impression by Wingo......

Sunday 12 February

Today after 16 days, 79% of the backers has completed their request from the pledge manager. Besides the mini expansions with the huge beast cards, the Lava cave set is very popular, as well as the Faction set.

Friday 27 January

We have launched the CrowdOx Pledge manager. Lets collect some data................

Tuesday 24 January

A first impression of the Spot UV details on the cover box and some of the game cards.

Sunday 22 January

Last week, we got the printed proofs from WinGo to check before the mass production is commencing. They look absolutely great!! We are very exited with the start of the printing process and can't wait to get our hands on the physical copies of the boxes.....

Saturday 7 January

Kwatta Games wishes you a happy new year!

We are also working on a small update of the website. The game page will include the latest rules and the media page will include the latest rulebooks and print & play version.

Sunday 18 December

We have really improved our Rulebook based on the feedback by our backers. We have added a small beginner tutorial and guidelines for expert games. You can download the rulebook on our Media page (or click here). The Media page also contains the rules for the expansions. Click here to go to the Media page.

Sunday 4 December

I played a game with my daughter of 7 years old. It went quite well until 'Sinterklaas' came by.........

Thursday 1 December

On the Droevendaal in Wageningen we played a two player game of Cave Pilot 55. Koen had a head start, later I thought I was winning, then Koen again and finally.... I won by 1 point. Really close. We created a cave with 4 yellow, 4 orange and 2 red caves.

Saturday 26 November

Based on the sample provided by WinGo we decided to change the coloring of the rim of the cave cards of the mini-expansions from grey into lime green. This improved the contrast between the cave card and the rim. Just see for yourself.....

Friday 28 October

Look at these beautiful card backs that we have prepared for printing Cave Pilot 55. Cave card back (left), 2 new backs of upgrade cards (two in middle) and the back of exploration cards (right). As you notice, the back of the new upgrade cards (two in the middle) now show the colors of the corresponding upgrade card types. We have made a slight change in the setup of the cave shop, which is now split in two piles. This reduces randomness a bit but increases the strategical choices of players. We have tested this concept at Spiel 2016 and it works great!!

Saturday 15 October

Many visitors came to play Cave Pilot 55 at the Wingo booth on Spiel Essen. Some fantastic games were played. We really enjoyed this day and picked up our Kickstarter Lobotomy pledge from Titan Forge Games.

Tuesday 12 April

One mysterious cave mummy and a flying menace..... These two cards are part of the Ice Cave Expansion Pack. The flying ice skeleton will be similar to the flying Nathus, a terror that flies in between the caves to haunt the pilots. We have already started to draw some of the art of this expansion. The first two weeks of the Kickstarter launch backers will get one of the Expansion packs for free. One expansion pack consists of 4 unique cave cards, 1 unique extra large flying 'monster' and its accompagnying card and 2 unique exploration upgrade cards. Have a look at the stunning art...
